So far, Ubisoft has been taking measures to address the issue. Several of the employees hit with the allegations have either left the company or been fired, such as PR director Stone Chin. However, people are asking how Ubisoft allowed such actions to happen in the first place. RELATED: Ubisoft Facing Lawsuit Over Workplace Abuse Allegations During an earnings call, investors saw an opportunity to question Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot about his level of responsibility, with one pointing out that he either didn’t know about what was happening at all, didn’t know enough and wasn’t asking questions, or did know and turned a blind eye....
Now it appears a Wii U version of the game is back on the menu, or at least that’s what a resume posting for an Ubisoft level designer suggests. When listing projects the designer in question, Pascal Allancon, is working on, the profile includes a mention of Splinter Cell: Blacklist, a title coming to the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC.

In a forum post, Ubisoft explains that shutting down online services for older games with small audiences is ultimately a necessity, as it allows its staff to better focus on supporting the services for current, more popular games, which arguably need it more so.

The confirmation from Ubisoft came as a complete surprise, dropping on the official Ubisoft Twitter account with little fanfare. The tweet is short and simple, promising the worldwide reveal of a brand new Tom Clancy’s game at 11:00 am PT/2:00 pm ET on July 19. The only other hint from the text of the tweet is that “things are going to get wild,” a hint that doesn’t have a clear tie to any past Tom Clancy’s game, as any tie to Ghost Recon Wildlands is certainly unintentional....
